Are you looking for couples therapy that actually works? Or, are you looking for support while you're loving someone with dementia? I help couples and family members who feel stuck in painful cycles, disconnected, or unsure how to repair after conflict. I also support individuals, families, and friends navigating dementia, memory changes, or a new diagnosis. As a New York Times–featured relationship scientist, dementia researcher, author, and psychologist, I offer warm, structured, evidence-based therapy to help you make sense of what is happening and move forward with more tools, and understanding.
I specialize in a) research-based couples therapy and b) dementia-related support. With couples, I use IBCT and the Gottman Method to help you understand your pattern, reduce conflict, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection. For dementia-related concerns, I support grief, communication, role changes, family stress, and life after diagnosis.
I offer therapy in CO and coaching nationwide. I know reaching out can feel hard and vulnerable, especially when a relationship matters a lot or dementia has changed someone you love. You don't need to have the answers or know exactly what you need yet. The first step is simply seeing if this feels like a good fit. Book a FREE, easy phone consult today.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ACT, Gottman Method, ICBT, attachment, and personality theory. In your first session, we explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.
